Dude -
I'm Downloading now... Kindle-for-Mac reader first then my splurgy
$.99 book...
I'm sure I'm not the only one curious about the process (to date, and in
the future as it unfolds).
What did it take to get published this way?
Is there a paper-edition in the works (if you get enough digital sales
first)?
How did you discover this mechanism, was it obvious/well-publicized?
What is their deal? Is it like Apps where you get a significant percentage?
If I think it is crap, can I ask for my $.49 (if that is your cut) back?
Can I take it out in good Bourbon? Or Patio Bricks?

Dear FRIAM friends, colleagues, and acquaintances (you all can
envision the Venn diagram that places you in your particular state-space):
Please join me in celebrating the fact that today I published my first
book.
/Second Cousins/ is a science fiction novel, set in the current day.
From the "Dust Jacket":
*Preface*
24,000 years ago during the last ice age, what is now White Sands
National Monument in southern New Mexico was then a 1,600 square mile
lake which geologists have named Lake Otero. Gradually the weather
became drier and warmer as the ice age retreated, and the gypsum that
had been dissolved in the lake deposited out as the lake dried up,
leaving the modern-day pure white dunes of gypsum sand.
At the southern end of this range of dunes on what is now part of the
White Sands Missile Range, the sands have drifted, exposing something
that should not have been there.
